Year two costs the same as year one
GoDaddy's Basic managed WordPress plan is $6.99/month introductory and $14.99/month on renewal. Our 24-month rate is $8/month at signup and renewal, so nothing arrives on the card at double.
Compare · GoDaddy
Looking at GoDaddy? Hosting, without the upsell catalogue.
GoDaddy's managed WordPress price roughly doubles at renewal, and the good parts arrive as separate products. WP Tango charges one price that never changes, includes the caching, backups and developer access, and puts US engineers behind it.
In short
WP Tango is a managed WordPress hosting alternative to GoDaddy. Plans start at $8/month on 24-month billing, with the renewal price matching the signup price for that term, and every plan includes LiteSpeed Enterprise, Redis object caching, unlimited PHP workers, unmetered visitors, staging, SSH and WP-CLI, backups every 4 hours kept 30 days, and free engineer-led migration from GoDaddy, with US engineers in Phoenix, Arizona.

The GoDaddy alternative
The reasons people leave GoDaddy for us.
Most of it comes down to honest pricing, real speed, and not having to pay extra for the basics.
Developer access on the smallest plan
SSH, WP-CLI, SFTP, Composer, logs and database access are standard on every WP Tango plan. On GoDaddy they depend on which tier you bought.
A stack tuned for WordPress
LiteSpeed Enterprise and Redis object caching are pre-configured, with Cloudflare at the edge and dedicated AMD Ryzen 9950X or Intel 14900K CPUs at the origin. Uncached pages, admin and checkout benefit most.
Backups every 4 hours, kept 30 days
GoDaddy backs up daily. We snapshot every 4 hours and keep 30 days, and our engineers will restore for you.
No add-on funnel
Security products, SEO tools, email and site-builder extras are separate purchases in the GoDaddy account. Our plans include what a WordPress site needs, then stop selling.
